From Scott Hahn's Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, on the note for John 2:4:
Although it might offend the standards of modern etiquette, this was a title of respect and endearment in antiquity (see 4:10, 8:10, and 20:13). There is, however, no ancient example of a son addressing his mother in this way. This entire episode alludes to Genesis 3, the reverse image of the Cana episode. The description of Mary even alludes to Gen 3:15, when the Lord speaks of a "woman" whose son will trample the devil underfoot (Catechism 489, 494).

Did Jesus have Mary?
Please define what you mean by "have". But in the hopes I clear things up, Jesus Christ was the son of Mary. Mary became pregnant by the holy spirit. And not the way humans usually get pregnant (or in other words, "sex"), but by a miracle. And if you mean "was Mary a follower of Christ?". Then yes, she was. She whole heartily believed that Jesus was the son of God/God himself. And she loved him unconditionally.
